Slimming world support thread #7 2017

[BasinHaircut]

Hello!

Well done Groove.

2.5 off for me yesterday, 9 in four weeks and my first award. So pleased as I wasn't expecting that result at all.

The last few weeks have been frustrating. The only thing I can think off is I am off the mini pill and I think my own hormones are struggling Post surgery with all that's gone on. I also think my bowel has stopped working properly since I came off the iron tablets. It's taken 10 weeks to lose 7.5lb despite being 100% 8 of those weeks.

Groove, it sounds like your body has been through a lot lately and our bodies can react really weird to change. Even though it must be incredibly frustrating and annoying just think how positive it is that you have lost weight and not gained. Do you think pre slimming world you would have eaten well post surgery? Or would you have gained weight? I think you've done really well to stick to plan and keep going.

Been AWOL for a while, wi today, going to do it blind - if I see how bad it is I fear i'll spiral off - fresh start today.

my line:

B 2 weetabix heb, ss milk hea
L subway salad
T quorn sausages, veg, mash, gravy (syns)

3lbs off today - yay! I need 2lbs more to get to my 2 stone and Club 10. I reeeeeallly want to do it next week.

I have a monster of a week coming up, including my mum having major surgery, so lots of deep breaths and staying away from the biscuits needed.

I made a carrot soup yesterday that was unexpectedly yummy. It was kind of the carrot and ginger soup from the SW little book of soups except I had no ginger, and substituted leeks for celery I've got loads left so that will be lunch. Does anyone have any other quick tasty soup favourites?

Soups was the topic we talked about yesterday. Am in the process of making broccoli and cheese. I recently made Broccoli and bacon with a hint of chilli which was gorgeous. There's a speedy tomato soup that everyone raves about too. Apparently it's like Heinz tomato soup.

I have a soup maker so like to make soup.

Thanks Tweety x

It's nothing like Heinz but still ok imo.

5.5 on. The display didn't chNge fast enough after I got off.

I like carrot and coconut soup, spicy lentil, curried parsnip or bns soups

Draw a line under it Foof. You can do this x

I have never managed broccoli soup without stinking the house out when cooking - is there an art to it? Liking the sound of bacon in soups, and the curried parsnip (is that a recipe or one you've bought?).

Good luck Foof. Maybe you needed to know that number so you'll know just how well you've done next week. Your menu for the day has made me want sausages!

I have a soup maker so 21 or 28 minutes it takes.

Broccoli cheese soup sounds amazing! Recipe please?

I like curried butternut soup. Might make some and batch it in my new massive freezer.

A whole broccoli, 1 onion, 3 small potatoes, 1lt veg stock. I chucked it in on the smooth setting on my soup maker. Took a portion out and melted a laughing cow extra light triangle.

Someone else said they put Parmesan in instead.

I never follow recipes for soups tbh just whack it in.

Ty groove x

I never thought of making the soup and adding the cheese per portion excellent idea! I'll buy some Stilton to add and have it as HEA.

Hey, Does anyone know if the Marks an Spencer Singapore noodles in the fresh veg section are still free food? Ta

Hello I used to live round these parts a while back

Pssst it's me buttwing/shamoffour incase anyone didn't recognise the new username

How's everyone getting on? Not had time to read the threads yet but good to see lots of familiar faces!

They won't be, Coke. They're usually around 5 syns a pack.

I see you under that disguise Sham. How are you getting on?

Lemony I don't think I will ever get a job as a spy!!
It's going ok I've gain 2lbs over the summer and rejoined last week.
How's things with you are you still at target?
Apologies I will read the full thread when the small ones are in bed!

Did think it was a bit weird ALemonyPea but it was on a sw fb page so thought I would see if anyone else knows. thanks

Hey Sham x

Coker if it's the ones with ginger,coriander and spices they are 1.5 for half the pack.

Hey groovee how are you getting on?

Almost 6 months after I got my 1 stone award and I've finally got my 1.5 stone award. Now to not fuck it up like I do after every good loss so far.

Good to see the return of buttwing and you have reminded me to put butt casserole on the menu for next week.

Well done everyone for this week.

I'm all over the place at the moment, for the first time ever I've purposely skipped weigh in because it would have been a gain.

I want to go next week and call target. But I can't deal with he psychology of doing that whilst I'm above the lowest I've been. I am happy at my current weight and know I can maintain it long term (as I pretty much have for months anyway without calling target) so I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I think ive definitely got a bad relationship with food and eating and obsess slightly too much about weight.

One of my friends recently told me (when drunk) that she thinks I have body dysmorphia which I don't think is true, I just think we all see our own bodies in a worse light than others and that's normal.

I'm rambling now
